The Rehabilitation Team

My philosophy has always been based on blending healing methodologies, and I can testify to both the physical and emotional manifestation of this. By focusing on both spheres, it allows one to naturally treat more than just the symptoms. My team at Synergy Holistix all share philosophies.

Each patient has to be treated uniquely, and the treatment platform will be decided on an individual basis.

My main passion has always been sport and I have played at a provincial level. Over the past 10 years, I experienced many injuries due to sport and this led me to be treated by our very own Dr. Wayne Borowsky – whom I learned a lot from.

As a result of this, my passion subsequently went from playing sport to treating sport-related injuries, as well as the general well-being of patients.

I grew up being involved in a number of sports, from ballet to track and field, baseball, MMA, cheerleading and gymnastics. So naturally, my path led me to a field that involved a combination of sporting, training and movement knowledge.

After experiencing the tsunami in 2004, I wanted to find out what was going on inside my own head. Trauma completely unhinges your world and for me, it became a fascinating discovery of who I was becoming. Finding out how anxieties can shape your life and how they are directly linked to trauma became my primary interest.

So I furthered my studies and specialized in trauma, completing my internship at Sterkfontein Psych Prison, Leeuwkop Prison, Cluny Farm, and The Midrand Support Centre. It was the most incredible journey and continues to be the most fulfilling space for me as a therapist to assist in empowering people once they have experienced the true helplessness and hopelessness that trauma ignites. I have been in this field for 10 years now.

I grew up in a sporting family and was always involved in sport throughout school and university. I have always had an alternative view on life and the way the physical, psychological and metaphysical work hand in hand. I graduated from the University of Johannesburg in 2013 with an undergraduate in Sports Psychology and honours in Biokinetics.

I have further studied alternative forms of healing, which I include in my practice, to gain a further understanding of one’s situation at hand. I have worked with many different athletes ranging from novice to elite performers. My main passion is to work with sporting teams in both rehabilitation and high-performance situations.

My focus is on facilitating healing for my patients from a body, mind and soul perspective, and the modalities I practice allow a well rounded, holistic approach to my patients health. No two sessions are the same. I meet each patient with an open approach, listening to what they need and where they are at that moment. Supporting my patients through their journey back to health and optimal wellbeing.

Passionate about Pilates, I discovered my love for movement at an early age when I began dancing at 3.  I was extremely active and participated in almost every sport growing up.

I began learning about the human body and how it works, I spent a year focusing on anatomy and physiology as I studied Swedish Massage and Reflexology.

In 2011 I studied Sports Science and completed my Sports Science Diploma as an Exercise Specialist working with the elderly, pregnant woman and children.  It was at this time when I was introduced to Pilates and completed my Mat work certification.
